Hi all,
im about to head off oversea again and my rego has to be renewed late next month which i wont be back till November.
my friend told me that he was warned via mail they will cancel his rego in 3 months of the original expiry if he doesnt pay the renewal.
anyone have any info about this or know about this? couldn't find any info on vic roads site about this.
I always understood expiry date meant just that. Why not just pay it early? The registration renewal (and sticker) always arrives at least a minimum of a month before it is due to be paid giving ample time to organise payment. If your renewal hasn't arrived before you depart then I feel quite certain you could simply go to VicRoads and ask to pay then and there. Why run the risk of your registration being cancelled?
Or get someone else to pay it if the paperwork doesn't arrive in time. (Vic doesn't have yearly roadworthy inspections, right?)
You have 3 months before the registration expires and a new RWC is required.
However, the car cannot be driven during those 3 months.

VicRoads will automatically cancel vehicle registration which has been expired for more than three months.
VicRoads may also cancel registration if action requested in a Notice of Suspension of Registration of a vehicle has not been taken within the period specified in the suspension notice.
The commencement date of cancellation is the date the cancellation is recorded on VicRoads records.
